APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday December 11, 2007 (MJD 54446) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko (day) Kaike Pan (observer) Steph Snedden (observer) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- More bad weather and no science. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All equipment are checked and work properly. Spectro collimation set for ~-3.0C. The weather is not cooperative, 98% humidity, snow blowing. No ventilation started. Night: ------ We had high humidity at sunset. Later, clouds moved in. Then the wind picked up a bit and we had blowing snow. To finish off the night, we had a few flurries. Still not enough snow for skiing, though. During the early evening, we had several short (about 1 second) power interruptions. We didn't notice any problems resulting from this. And that's about it. 11:46Z - We realized the night was lost, and shut down. endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7228 22:15Z 22:36Z 100 O 123.22 128.56 50 ignore ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n):y QA Procedures Done (y/n):y (raw frames examined, apo_plotbias) UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 47841, plate -9999 ------- 22:21 47841 0.0 bias ----- sequence 47842, plate 2878 ------- 22:43 47842 10.0 flat 22:45 47843 2.0 arc 22:50 47844 3.0 arc 22:53 47845 3.0 arc ----- sequence 47846, plate -9999 ------- 23:33 47846 0.0 bias 00:29 47847 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 22:38Z 5 0 1.00000 0 1257 0 121 30.4 -3.7 6 264 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:03Z 24 22 3 307 (NW) 165 - Mostly clear 22:34Z 25 23 6 270 (W) 2269 - ' 23:04Z 25 23 5 235 (SW) 154 - ' 23:44Z 24 22 4 268 (W) 215 - ' 00:16Z 22 20 2 226 (SW) 279 - ' 00:48Z 22 21 3 192 (SSW) 241 - ' 01:20Z 22 21 2 198 (SSW) 393 - ' 01:52Z 21 19 2 182 (S) 195 - ' 02:24Z 20 18 0 234 (SW) 230 - ' 03:05Z 20 16 4 184 (S) 128 - ' 03:37Z 20 17 8 143 (SE) 217 - ' 04:09Z 20 14 8 263 (W) 69 - ' 04:41Z 21 16 12 280 (W) 87 - ' 05:13Z 21 16 12 266 (W) 163 - partly cloudy 05:45Z 21 16 15 265 (W) 100 - mostly cloudy 06:17Z 22 16 12 272 (W) 115 - ' 06:50Z 23 17 17 273 (W) 204 - ' 07:22Z 22 18 19 260 (W) 302 - ' 07:54Z 22 18 11 275 (W) 357 - ' 08:26Z 22 18 12 274 (W) 299 - cloudy 08:58Z 22 18 12 267 (W) 230 - ' 09:30Z 22 19 9 214 (SW) 399 - ' 10:02Z 22 20 9 262 (W) 1075 - ' 10:35Z 21 21 11 204 (SSW) 452 - ' 11:07Z 22 19 6 274 (W) 298 - ' 11:39Z 21 20 2 207 (SSW) 344 - ' ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Night: ------ Never ventilated or opened.
